DEAN BEMIS, JR. It is a recognized truth that many an athletic contest has Been won through the inspiration which the players received from a spirited cheering section. Taking this fact into consideration, we are forced to conclude that although Dean has not him self Been a member of our athletic teams, he has, nevertheless, contributed to their success; for every football or hockey game found Dean on the sidelines and bellowing with the best of them. Though his plans for the future are not made, we know that success awaits him. ELIZABETH BENSON “Betty” “Bets” French Club (4), Girls’ Club (4), Poetry Club (4) Traffic Squad (4 ) “I am a part of all that 1 have met” — Tennyson. What could better describe our very worldly Betty, who has seen much more than most of us and who has returned to tell us of her experiences in her inimitable manner? How often she has dashed off amusing tales and descriptions for “School Life ' and now chooses most widely for her literary department. As President of the French Club, with her truly French accent, Betty filled us with the desire to find “New Worlds To Conquer,” and to be as modest in our success as she has been in hers, both here and abroad. Ray hopes to attend Dartmouth, and he loses no opportunity said that we tow-headed lads had a way with the girls, and so far his six feet of Viking blondness has had the luck. In granting him leave from our institution, we all bid him a bit of a tweet- tweet, a loud cheerio, and the best of luck.

Tiger This slender, fair-haired boy entered M. H. S. in 1929 liom the Lincoln School. Although he never received any blue slips m disciplinary sessions, he was far from being perfect. In Ins hi -I two y ears, he took no active part in outside activities; how- ever. in his last two years, he took part in football and track. Hank seems to be oblivious to the many female attractions in Melrose, possibly because he makes frequent excursions to Stone- ham. He lias no immediate plans for the future except possibly making a trip to Canada. IRMA BERTHEL Inn , Snookuins , Buttons G ' cc Club III. (2), !• I, III. Count and Coed . Pirates of Penzance .
